Cartoon Loopholes That Make No Sense

As we all know, cartoons often don't really follow any kind of rational thought.

Cartoon Loopholes That Make No Sense

As we all know, cartoons often don't really follow any kind of rational thought. Many times, those who make cartoons completely ignore rhyme and reason.

With that being said, here are 5 super nonsensical cartoon loopholes.

Phineas's Summer

Phineas from Phineas and Ferb is a perfectly delightful being. Together, he and his brother Ferb make and create lots of fun, creative doohickeys for the children of the Tri-State area to play with.

All that is fine and dandy. When I watch this show, I just have one question.

When do these kids go to school?

The show is meant to follow Phineas and Ferb on their summer excursions. But summer is supposed to end at some point, right? This show was given 4 seasons from 2007 to 2015. They just never go back to school. Someone should really call a truancy officer or something.

Mr. Krabs and Pearl

SpongeBob Squarepants character Eugene Krabs has a lovely daughter named Pearl, who he feeds and takes care of. Again, all that is great!

But Mr. Krabs is a crab.

Pearl is a whale.

Crab+?=whale?

Something doesn't add up.

Goofy Being Goofy

Goofy from the Mickey Mouse world is a guffawing, wacky canine who hangs out with his best friend, Mickey Mouse.

As a kid, Goofy's relationship with his dog Pluto always confused me.

That's right.

A dog kept another dog as a domestic house pet.

That doesn't make any sense! Why does Goofy get to be the alpha in the relationship?

Mr. Krabs Again

In one episode of SpongeBob, aforementioned crustacean Mr. Krabs captures and harvests all the jellyfish in Bikini Bottom to make jelly for his restaurant. The machinery that Krabs uses to extract the jelly from the jellyfish only runs with Krabs pedaling on an exercise bike.

Decked out in his workout gear, Krabs took to the bike, pedaling hard, pumping his legs with a smile. However, something...unnerved me a little. Do you see something wrong with this picture?


...How is he listening to music through his eyes? What the hell, Nickelodeon?

A-a-r-d-v-a-r-k

Arthur Reeves from the show Arthur was easily my favorite cartoon aardvark growing up. He and all of his friends always went on super interesting adventures that captivated my attention and kept me coming back for more. Just one question, though.


How do his glasses stay on his face if his ears are at the top of his head? What kind of evil witchcraft is at work here? Gravity just doesn't exist anymore?

Did I miss any? Let me know in the comment section or on Twitter @kingtunde25.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
